All things little

I love baby products! There is nothing better than a little tiny pair of baby socks or tiny baby bows and hats! I sure hope my little girl likes sunglasses because her crazy mama is going to force them on her!
Her shoe collection is continuing to grow... 19, sizes 0- 2

                           
We recieved both carseats and I can't wait to put them in!


My new favorite piece of furniture in our home is the baby bouncer!
Her alphabet wall is completed!



33 and 34 weeks!

I am very behind on posting on here, I wish I could say it's because I have been so busy finishing everything for our little girl... Nope! Don't get me wrong, we have been doing a lot since we are getting closer and closer to April 6. I feel like once we get one thing accomplished, I think of 10 more things we need to get done NOW!

Last weekend my sister and mom threw an AMAZING baby shower for me! It was so pretty and so nice to be around so many friends and family. We got so many wonderful gifts, Baby Sutton is going to be very spoiled! My best friend from Houston came into town, it was great being able to spend time with her and catch up! I have to say our weekend was a little different than normal, but I showed her that a 8 month preggo can still have fun!

Work is becoming harder and harder, I have NO energy and still am not prepared to leave my classroom for the rest of the year! I am planning on working until I have our little darling, so it is crazy not knowing if she may come early, late or right on time!

I went to my 34 week Dr appt on Friday and she said I am measuring normal and in two weeks I will get an ultrasound to see where baby is positioned and then I will go to the Dr each week until she arrives! She is still moving around a lot, but there is less and less room for her to move, and I'm not quite sure where she thinks shes moving to?

Jeff and I have completed our birthing classes, we now have a breastfeeding class and  baptism class to attend before she arrives in our world! I feel pretty comfortable and prepared as I can be I guess... I know I will be ready whenever she decides to come, I mean 15 year olds do this every day! I am sure I can handle it!

Nursery Updates part 2



Our nursery is really coming together!!! I remember sitting in the once 2nd guest room and freaking out that we had not one baby item in there... that was only back in December! Now, it is filled with clean white furniture, tiny baby clothes hung in the closet and books new and old fill her new Ikea shelves! (Thank God for Ikea). I find myself sitting in her room imagining what it will be like when she is there with me!! The nursery is now my favorite room in our house!! Jeff thinks its hilarious that we have lived in our home 2 1/2 years and her room is the only room that has everything it needs! We still don't even have curtains in our bedroom, but Baby needed brand new Anthropologie curtains asap! I am also THRILLED that we are getting my dream rocking chair in the next couple of weeks! Jeff's parents really wanted to make sure we had a rocker in her nursery, but I never dreamed I would be able to have THE rocker! Thanks Russ and Carolyn! This not only means we have a comfy beautiful rocker for Baby, but that we can put the amazing chair we originally got in OUR bedroom! Who would have thought through all this baby shopping that we would get something for us too!!

Before:
What was once a guest room with a bunch of obvious things we did not need.....

Is now on its way to being A NURSERY!...

32 weeks!

8 weeks to go!! WOW! It is crazy to think that in less than 2 months there will be a little mini me in this world! Watch out, I know that may frighten some people! I am feeling pretty prepared... I mean as much as I can be for having our first baby. The nursery is coming together (see next blog post), her wardrobe is continuoulsy growing, and Jeff and I have started our birthing classes! Jeff is very patient and has not complained once about them, even though they are three hours long for three weeks. He is probably most thrilled that he doesn't have to worry about Valentine's Day because we will be in class till 9pm. How romantic! Just before we started our first class, someone asked me if I was getting nervous for the actual birth part and I realized that I have not even begun to worry because I know everything will be perfect. Well... after our first class and all the great info they share with you I began to a worry a little! There is so much I had not thought about such as... how will I know if I am in labor? Sounds silly, but I have been so excited about preparing for baby that I hadn't thought about the actual delivery! No worries, I am a fast learner!

                                                                    32 weeks!
Sorry for the horrible picture, hair, slippers and outfit! That is what Sunday looks like in my house!

30 & 31 weeks

Not much has changed except for the protruding stomach of mine... I have pretty much given up and realized that this baby girl is going to continue to grow and kick me at all hours of the day and night until she decides to make her appearance to the world! I am getting very anxious, even though I still have 10 weeks left, I can't wait to meet our precious daughter!
                                                            30 weeks... 10 to go!
